Now that our farmers are looking
more than ever to the Improvement,
aud preservation of their lands, and
to the raising Of good stock, our
road Overseers should look more
carefully to the working of Onr pub
lie roads, The condition of the
public highways is a true index to
the prosperity and worth of cOun-
try, and wherever you find roads
well worked and frst-class bridges,
you will find also well kept horses
and vehicles, high priced lands, and
a we'll to do, prosperous class of far
mers. Bad roads and mean bridges
are a nuisance and an extravaganza
that only the most shiftless peop e
will indulge in. The wear and tear
on stock, and the breakage and
wear on wagons caused by bad
roads, if properly estimated, would
if 1t could be collected together, give
us a sufficient amount to put oil our
roads in tirstsclass order, and leave a
large surplus in the treasury. Our
oYerseers and our County Court
should see that our roads and bridges
are put in the best order and kept
so, economy demands it, and the
change that is going on in our system
of farming requires 1t. Let every
neighborhoOd resolve now. hence
forth and forever, to have good
roads and 90 to work to make them.
